Papa in San Francisco

With Papa in SanFran, the kids and I are trying to keep busy and have fun all the same. On Saturday we did homework and then went downtown to the Mind Cafe where we played two games we really enjoyed. The first game was a mouse and cheese game called Chateau Roquefort as seen in the poster behind our table. The second game was called the Davinci Code and both were appropriate for our age group. Rik, the assistant manager, did a great job of teaching us the rules and since we were the only ones in the restaurant at that time, he stood by us to make sure we were following them!

After our meal and games, we walked around the area by the river near the Fullerton Hotel and then went in to this beautiful hotel to enjoy a freshly squeeze orange juice. It is a nice place to take a rest because children are given crayons and exercise books and our two boys really enjoyed doing four word searches each.

We headed home with enough time to rest before "Oma Ruzen's birthday party by the pool and although it was hard to be the first to leave, we had to get home and into bed by 9pm so we could get up for this morning's Floor Ball Tournament at TPS which Frunty absolutely loved. We all had to stop the tournament to run outside and greet the minister and other dignitaries in front of the school. As usual, the principal, Miss Tay, introduced them all to the me because we are the only NA or Europeans at the school. Mr. Masago remembered me from another time and said, "nice to see you again!" I have now met all the important people in Tampines and been on the news too...memories of Ibogawa!

Well, we ended our great weekend by having dinner with our new babysitter from Paris who is EXCELLENT and as soon as she left, I tucked the reluctant kids into bed. Who wants the fun to end?! They'll thank me in the morning when getting up isn't too difficult. Happy weekend everyone! And we miss you, Papa! Have a good flight to D.C.!
